Before heading to Nairobi

I cannot thank everyone enough! I would not be able to be going on this adventure of a life time without all of the support of my family and friends. I love you all and THANK YOU!
I am so excited for this trip! For those who don't know, I am going to Kenya on January 8th to help construct schools in three different villages. I am flying into Nairobi and then taking an 8 hour bus ride to my first village Common Ground, which is about 20 minutes outside of Kitale.
Common Ground is the home of Pathfinder Academy, an elementary school for orphans and children in extreme poverty. My accommodations here will be on the Pathfinder Academy property. I will be staying in a hut and I am not sure what this all entails, but I can't wait to find out! I will have internet access in this village, so I hope to keep you all updated!

Once I land in Nairobi I will try to post something so you all know that I have landed safely!
